Kingston Union MFG?- Matt Hensley
« on: March 24, 2017, 06:26:57 AM »
I want to support anything Matt Hensley is involved in.

It looks pretty interesting with a $26.95 vegan friendly shoe.

Anyone know more about them?

I like that there isn't any branding, when fully laced. However, they are winos and probably feel terrible. At, least they're like $20 cheaper than Emerica Winos.

Someone said that it's Ed Dominick's company, but I haven't checked into it.

Hensley is sick and I've even had the pleasure of the man serving me a drink. But how are these different than what you get at the army navy store?

Ed Dominik runs this, Don't think theres much difference in these Winos than what you get at a surplus store or from hard luck...just something cool to back if you want.

Damn I left my bubbler at my parents house

Anyone else think Matt looks like a trendy and healthy version of the Phelper at this angle?

Love the rustic vintage Americana vibe for these Chinese made pieces of probable garbage... fair enough, whatever! But it seems like, extra cynical to add "Union MFG". The odds that these 19.99 shirts were made by real life union people with good jobs seems about on the same level as Bieber nollie flipping El Toro.

Has an added heel panel for stability. Never had army surplus chinos but doubt they are lined, which those seem to be.
Still wont be copping tho.

Basically seems like a Brixton ripoff, Brixton started with hats and Hensley backing them. Blue collar Americana made on China always sells
